An event where surplus, discontinued, or returned merchandise from a major home improvement retailer is sold to the public, typically through a bidding process. These sales often include a wide variety of items, ranging from tools and appliances to building materials and home dcor. For example, an independent business owner might participate to acquire inventory at reduced prices.
These sales present opportunities for significant cost savings for both individuals and businesses. They provide a channel for the retailer to efficiently manage inventory and recover some value from goods that would otherwise occupy storage space or be discarded. Historically, such disposals were often handled privately, but the advent of online platforms has broadened access and increased transparency.
